Great irish bar right by the waters. The drinks are a good price compare to the other bars by this area. I had the lamb and it was a little dry but the drinks were good. The environment is great too with a large indoor and outdoor seating. It faces the water so you can sit outside with a harbor view. read more

O'Hagan's Irish Pub - The lamb. - Pubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

On our recent visit to Auckland and participating in the World Masters Games, we were looking for a casual place to grab a drink and some easy comfort / bar food. O'Hahan's Irish Pub in the Viaduct by the harbor seemed like a great place to try as a short walk from the hotel. First impressions are important, and if I listened to mine I would have bolted as soon as I walked inside. The place was very loud (lots of rugby and football/soccer) on the televisions and groups of revelers raising a pint or two. But what really almost had me going for the door was the lack of lighting. I don't mean that this place had romantic mood lighting, I mean this place was down right dark. I like clean, and when places are dark my immediate thoughts are that poor lighting hides poor cleaning. I was talked into staying and knowing how hungry we were and casually dressed, another option on this evening was probably not a quick solve. So we took our seats and proceeded to order. Mind you we needed our cellphones to see the menu, and I never felt like such a senior citizen in having to do that in a restaurant before. As I said, comfort / bar food was goal. So we ordered the garlic bread (Irish style) to start and it was ideal when washed down with our beverages. The crispy fried chicken salad was fair, not the freshest of lettuce, but certainly not terrible either. There was plenty of chicken which was served hot and crispy as advertised so it is nice to report that they didn't skimp on the portion size. Also ordered was the traditional fish and chips. The order was huge and was also piping hot right from the fryer. The white fish was fresh and moist and the chips were the right crispiness for us. The food was far better than I thought it would be, but that is not to say it was fabulous as much as to say I was pleasantly surprised. I would give the food alone a 2.5 and the beverages a 3, but the atmosphere a 2. I probably wouldn't go here again other than to cheer on a team and raise a glass to celebrate with some good friends in a casuals & friendly atmosphere. read more

My husband wanted to drop in for a drink, Kilkenny.They brought us 2 drinks but it was just my husband that had ordered it. I also mentioned that we needed only 1. When the bartender came by with the 2 drinks, she looked a bit irritated after I explained we only ordered one. Just to order something, I went with the sumer berry tart dessert. Nothing outstanding. Service was okay. Dessert and drinks a bit overpriced. read more

O'Hagan's Irish Pub - Summer Berry Tart dessert - Pubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

We went here last night for a pint and some food. I got the chicken Caesar salad and my husband got the meat pie and he said it was super filling. They have a variety of local beers on draft and the staff was pretty attentive to us the entire time. They have about 15 tables outside which makes for a fun game watching experience if you're there to watch sports. The reason for only 4 stars is because the bathrooms were really messy and they look like they weren't tended to for a while. read more

O'Hagan's seems like it might be a hit-or-miss kind of place. A group of us Yelp scouts met up here the other night to talk Yelp. And of course, to scope the place out! I arrived unfashionably early and did manage to get directions to our reserved table from a barmaid, but only after she'd finished giggling with her friend. Okay, so it's a pub right? Nothing wrong with the staff having a good time. I have to say that my lemon, lime and bitters was nice, and the outdoor tables looked gorgeously sunny and an excellent place to relax with a beer, but inside was more stereotypical of an Irish pub - a bit on the dark and dingy side. And I have to mention that disaster struck when very few of our group could get the WiFi going, although we'd had assurances it would work fine. I'll try it again - I suspect it would improve with a beer or two. read more

O'Hagan's Irish Pub - O'Hagan's Irish Pub - Pubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

O'Hagan's is a great feature of the Auckland waterfront scene. It's a cheeky little dimple on the Viaduct's airbrushed face. It's were you end up when you are looking for a comfortable place along the water that won't leave you with a debilitating bill and crippled wallet. After walking past the overly pompous and elitist establishments, O'hagans appears warm and inviting, yet holds it's own on Auckland's waterfront. A swell spot to relax or meet a group of friend during a sunny afternoon in their spacious courtyard. Definitely a must during St. Patrick's or any big sporting event. And, whether it's true or not, my partner seemed to notice the staff solely consist of friendly, attractive females. read more

O'Hagan's Irish Pub - Entrance - Pubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

The Irish pub borders on cliche in any country with a smidge of Irish heritage, but they're usually fun enough to justify the occasional visit with mates. O'Hagans fits the mould pretty well, while managing to be perhaps a bit bigger and posher than the norm given it's Viaduct location. Still, Guinness on tap, nick nacks on the walls, bangers and mash on your plate and sport on the telly - all boxes ticked. I have great memories of this place during the 2011 Rugby World Cup - will never forget the adulation of being here when Ireland beat Australia at Eden Park. Never been in such a raucous crowd in a pub ever! read more

A four star rating might seem generous to some if they knew I only ordered a side of fries plus three overpriced rum and cokes, and the real reason I went there was to watch my team the Broncos play only to lose. But in saying that the fries were nice, the rum even better,the service exceptional(didnt get up of my seat once)! Plus I got to spend some qaulity time with the one I love. But i didn't appreciate the overkill of police presence to what I thought was a minor incident,who knows?? if they hadn't of rocked up disturbing the peace it could have been a perfect five star evening. read more

O'Hagan's Irish Pub - Pubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

We visited O' Hagan's Irish Pub on the last day of the honeymoon and this was when I realized there was a small part of me missing USA cuisine. I mean, I think this was the only Irish restaurant in the entire city of Auckland plus it was on the pier where all the touristy restaurants congregate. Outside the restaurant, a bluegrass band was singing a song about drinking beer and smoking tobacco. The lyrics were reminiscent of Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do" and could have fit perfectly on the Tuesday Night Music Club record she released back in 1993. Back inside the restaurant, I was waffling back and forth between ordering the nachos or the garlic bread for an appetizer. I found out on my travels that both Australia and New Zealand don't give out complementary bread like the states, but let me assure you that at any establishment I paid up for a decent loaf was well worth it. Hot, gooey and dripping with carbs that would make Dr. Atkins roll in his grave. The waitress steered us towards the nachos and I obliged, but I knew something was amiss when she said she ate them every other day and didn't have the husky build I would suspect upon hearing the news. Anyway, the nachos were just ok, and to call them nachos is a generous classification given their potato chip like texture and circular composition. We went with the fish and chips for a main, probably the most popular dish overall in Australia and New Zealand. This plays into the countries storied beginning as a prison for British convicts. O' Hagan's hovers around a 3-4 star for me and upon further visits I can see it moving up a star but I know I won't be back to Auckland anytime soon unless Taylor Swift tours there (checks calendar... she is playing end of November! Woot woot!) Great atmosphere, a large bar and solid service offset the average food. Great for a group of friends that wants to watch rugby and admire the views from the pier. read more

We were able to find a parking spot pretty close by, near a bunch of apartments. May be tougher to find a spot during the day? We got seated at a table right away, pretty nice even with a good crowd there. It was fairly loud and there was a large group party near us but we still had our own little quiet area. There is a big deck area we sat out on, next to a big heater at a big table, so we were nice and comfy. Nice beer selection, got the Mac's Hop Rocker, they also have other locally produced beers. The mussels were very good, came with a side of chips. Beer and cider prices were very expensive, but reasonable food prices. read more

Located on the waterfront, O'Hagans is a special kind of place. It is definitely hard to miss, I mean one would have to be seriously out of it to notice the bar in that looks like something out of a movie. It screams "hello I am an Irish pub"! I have been to O'Hagans twice, the first time during the rugby world cup. I won't lie and say I remember anything as I was busy screaming at the TV along with other patrons. I do say it is a great place to watch a sports game with friends, no one will judge you if you stomp your feet, pump your fists or scream when your team scores! read more

O'Hagan's Irish Pub - Pubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

My Memories of the 2011 Rugby World Cup will not be of Richie holding the cup aloft, but rather the fun and laughter I shared with my brother at O'Hagans. My brother flew in from South Africa to catch all the action, and our party headquarters turned out to be O'Hagans. This was not planned, it just happened to be our first stop straight from the airport. He loved it so much, we went there every night, watching the games and sharing the excitement with new and old friends. The bar staff was part of the fun, and there was live music between games to keep us entertained. I still go there on boys nights, and it is a testament of its longevity that it is still as much fun as it was when it started. read more

Food is overpriced. $15.95 for 4 fried mozzarella balls with no sauce even (see photo)... And the waitress even asked twice if I only wanted 1 order of them... read more

O'Hagan's Irish Pub - This cost $15.95!!! - Pubs Near Me - Auckland, AUK

The food was great as was the atmosphere. The service on the other hand was terrible. 3 wait staff plus a bartender and only ~6 tables, no large parties, and it took 20 minutes to get a drink and another 20 after asking twice to get the bill. It's like they were making up work to not service the tables. read more

Went for lunch great drinks and food. Had the fish and chips they were very good. Others had wings which were excellent. Fast and friendly service read more

I imagine this place is a great spot for rugby nights and soccer matches and all of that. On a summers day when i visited it was a little different. There were small groups gathered outside taking in the rays with a early lunch and some beers, that looked nice. I was based inside though for a meeting. It was a little dire in there. There was a giant tv screen with some reality show on about a young girl boxer. I wasn't into it but maybe other bar patrons were.. So after trying to get the bartenders attention I ordered a coffee, which all bars / pubs tend to do nowadays, however they didn't have soy (which i half expected) so i could not have a coffee. In all its a decent pub in a nice location by the waterfront on the viaduct so i can see how it gets popular and fills up fast on sports nights and weekends in general. Still i would not recommend this place if you are lactose intolerant and after a coffee in the sun. read more

It was okay. Services wasn't too great. I got the burger and it wasn't all that good. I had to constantly ask for refills of soda. Overall, there's plenty of other great places around the viaduct. Try them. read more

We had breakfast here Sunday 14th May 2017. It was Awful. I had the Waffles with Deep Fried chicken and Chipoleta Maple sauce. Awful My other 2 companions had the Breakfast Tacos and Eggs Benedict. Both Awful. I get that this is an Irish Pub, but understand it's not a foodie venue, but if you are going to make food d sell it, please for the love of god put some effort into it. It's not hard. I won't be ever going back to this place for food. Avoid at all costs. read more

We were looking for a good steak meal and after eating here we were still as we paid $34.95 (came with with a drink) but minimal mushrooms and onion rings and though the steak was huge it was so chewy could barely eat it! Will not be eating steak there again read more

I chose this restaurant after viewing many restaurants on the Viaduct- food looked good and not too pricy. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich and was very disappointed. There was a very thin layer of pork (similar to spreading butter) in a brown bread bun full of coleslaw. If I wanted a coleslaw sandwich it would have been good. I ate two bites and told the waitress I wasn't happy. She said she'd try to fix it, but I didn't trust the cook so I left hungry. read more

This was the place we ate after a long flight from the US. It was open early for a match, good breakfast and a pint.

We spent the last few hours in New Zealand here. It was around midnight and it was pretty damn festive. The beer was fine but the atmosphere was amazing. Way to close our New Zealand trip. read more

I came here with my flat mates and we had to find our own seats cause the staff was missing. Once we sat down it took the staff 20 minutes to come over and take our order. So we finally order and then we end up waiting a hour and a half for any meal to come out. We asked kindly how long to our food is coming and the waitress says soon. The waitress comes back and says "because you complained, the drinks are on us" with this frustrated tone. Almost like she was trying to make us feel guilty. So she brings out the first two dishes and then she takes them away because they were for the wrong table but she only took one dish away cause my brother already started eating it. She comes back and says "The lady is hungry now because you ate her dish" Again making us feel guilty for their mistakes. I looked around the restaurant and other people also were getting their dishes late. After all that we all finally get our dishes but they are room temperature (not hot) and the quality of the food was pretty average and i'm someone who eats anything and everything. I got the nachos btw. When the waitress comes back my flatmate says "In future if there's any hold ups, could you please let the customer know" and the Waitress replies "We have a cruise in and that's why it took so long" but instead of taking the advice on board she kept deflecting the advice and eventually after not getting through to this girl we got the manager and long story short we got our money back. The manager was good but the Waitress was rude and the service was horrible. I will never go back there again. Nice place but unorganised. read more

Great pub down in the viaduct for catching up with friends over a cold pint. There is always a good crowd in there and the staff are always super friendly. They play major sporting events so its good to catch a game when in town. The pie and a pint deal is pretty good and the burgers are good standard pub fare. Worth a visit. read more
